Let’s let this play out. We have a young, promising backup (much like Talbot, Raanta, Jones, etc all were before they became starters elsewhere). He’s got great numbers this year and is playing well.
Peters isn’t dumb and will start Rittich against the Oilers.
Smith isn’t dumb and knows it’s Rittich’s net to lose.
This could be the best thing to happen to this team in the grand scheme of things. Get yo’ popcorn ready!
